ACMI Chiptunes Workshop

Had a great day at the Chiptunes workshop down at ACMI. It was a quick introduction to making music on the Gameboy with "Little Sound DJ". Very informative in a short amount of time!

Thanks to the presenters and mentors: (L-R) Dot AY, Derris-Kharlan and cTrix!

There was quite a bit to learn in a short time, and I only got about 20 minutes to actually put a song into the program, but it was fun, and now I want one of my own!Here's the little song I managed to make in the time. It's really just a short pattern that I was tweaking on the fly... Listen to Muzboz Lightning...

I used to make tracker songs on the Amiga in a program called "Sound Tracker", so the basic approach was familiar. I'd quite like to make my own original soundtrack to one of my games, entire using the Gameboy!
